Assorted reference devices, including the handy Marauders Map as well as shields and character cards to collect, add a little more depth to the action. The game remains faithful to the spirit of the book, but it is perhaps a little too linear and predictable.

Adds real depth to familiar characters and locations. Gamers not used to the Hogwarts world may still be impressed by the novel approach to the gameplay, the magical graphics and the well-balanced learning curve.

Fans of the books and films will enjoy the chance to explore the Hogwarts grounds and do things like ride Buckbeak the hippogriff and collect all of the Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans, but there's not a lot in this game to appeal to your average Muggle.

With very little effort Harry Potter the Prisoner of Azkaban can be finished in a single evening which indeed stands out as a serious drawback. Once you complete it, chances are slim that you'll want to try the whole thing again.

(and unfortunately, that downward trend would continue with the series in the future.) Incredibly short- a few hours should do the trick- and not challenging in the least.

If you're expecting some RPG elements you won't like this game. You are not free to choose wich spell to cast or play only 1 If you're expecting some RPG elements you won't like this game. You are not free to choose wich spell to cast or play only 1 character, you gotta keep switching from harry to harmonie to ron etc... Spells are very very limited .. I think there are only 4 or 5 spells TOTAL. I finished the game in less than 1 day and what can I say ... I spent most of the time collecting beans and cards. It would take only 1 hour to finish the game if you cut all the bullshit off. And what was that BUNNY transforming spell.. jesus.... Seriously .. dont waste your time.. the only fun thing is Ron's voice.…Expand

They told me that it is simply not compatable with game controllers on PCs. A bit pathetic I think. Particularly after the problems before with XP incompatability with Philosopher's Stone and given the clear profits to be made with the Harry Potter games franchise, I think it's about time EAgames got their act together.…Expand
